Notice: Dictator Watch is 100% blocked in China, according to the website Greatfire.org. If they ban you, they are afraid of you. We are delighted that our humble efforts have evoked fear from the murderous tyrants who rule China.

Dictator Watch is part
of a family of websites, the objective of which is to promote positive social
change. By way of introduction, the
prerequisites for accomplishing such change include that the steps taken
to bring it about must be (1) consistent with human nature, not based on an
unrealistically positive appraisal; (2) voluntary; (3) grounded in education;
and (4) ethical. The importance of education derives in part from the fact
that enduring and widespread change, global change, will require a
mass opting-out of the present social system. Only education, about a better
alternative, will motivate a critical mass of the population to break free
of our current oppressive structure.

Dictator
Watch advances the theory of global social change, which is grounded in the
field of mathematics known as chaos theory. But, while this might sound daunting,
the basic ideas and their application to human societies can be understood
by anyone. Dictator Watch also works as a front line activist group, on those
cases where the need for change is most pressing.

Lessons
in Democracy is an in-depth description of our goal, a truly democratic
society, including with an analysis of the many pitfalls that exist to establishing
and maintaining such a society.

Lessons in Democracy also includes
a short book about the worldwide economic recession - What Really Happened:
The Financial Crisis Guide.

Activism
101 gives an education about the tools of dissent, which is the essential
expression of popular power by which we both throw off authoritarian rule,
and preserve the vitality of our democracy once we are free.

The mission of Dictator Watch is to keep track of the dictators of the world,
and to see that they pay for their crimes. We seek the end of dictatorship,
in all its manifestations, including in all our social institutions.

Our
motto is: You Decide.

The
boy in the above photo, who is a member of the Karen ethnic group from Eastern
Burma, has had to flee for his life four times, including from a refugee camp
that was attacked and burned. He found refuge with his peoples rebel army,
and was on his way to becoming a child soldier, when he was discovered by representatives
of a foreign non-governmental organization who were able to get him placed in
a school. The dictator in his life
is the Burmese military junta. For the tiger, of which only some five thousand
survive in the wild, most of its habitat has been occupied by humans, which
also actively hunt it. The dictators in its life are the individuals who have
taken its land and who seek to kill it, and this actually extends to
all of us, through our aggression towards, and disregard for the value and rights
of, all other forms of life.

Dictator
Watch stands against this. We will serve as a means of activism against the
dictators in the modern world. Of course, the fight to eliminate dictatorship
will be extremely difficult. The forces which support it have great resources
at their disposal, and they are highly protective of their power over us. However,
we are nothing if not ambitious. We have many approaches to try and ideas to
implement. But we need your assistance in this fight - your personal activism
- if we are to have any chance of success.
